The cast is wonderful, Ray Milland, Sam Elliott, Joan Van Ark and Adam Roarke wage battle against each other as well as the beasts that come calling.
MGM has recently released this classic to DVD and the transfer is fantastic. I have a prerecord from Warner Home Video and the differences are striking. While short on extras, the disc can only boast of the original theatrical trailer, it is presented in both pan and scan as well as 16x9 enhanced widescreen.
If a day of classic *B* films is to your liking, then by all means, check this offering out from AIP! |
